Welcome to the Club of Dead Scents?
Today, my first test from the series "Histoires d' Eaux, Stories of Water." How beautiful that sounds, promising.
And then: "A beautiful story forever in my memory!" I was really "keen" to test this series.
I sprayed the fragrance and: Oh no! Another synthetic scent. And there’s the whole rest of the series.
First, a strong alcohol cloud hits me. I have to be careful, wait for that to dissipate. Looking at the sprayer, it claims to be an EdP. Well, okay.
Then a citrus scent mixture rises from my skin, I sniff closely? It could also be lime. Then something sharp follows, spices. I'm still busy with eBay, sniffing again and again. It becomes green and just as promised, aquatic, watery, ozonic.
"Un Belle Histoire" indeed, a beautiful story. That can be understood in different ways. We also use it in German as an exclamation when we mean a mess. Are there not quotes from a chanson? Was that not mentioned somewhere?
Since I had sprayed another fragrance on my other hand for testing and already suspected that this would also go similarly, I wondered what I dislike so much about these intentionally synthetic scents? They are not disgusting, they even smell: "nature-identical flavorings," as it says on food. Which simply means: artificial flavors. What kind of smoke and mirrors are these? At least the word creators are creative.
So it is with this fragrance. I smell artificial citrus aroma, artificial green, coumarin-like, could also be in a fabric softener. Then something ozonic-aquatic comes in, and at the end, the cheap ambroxan with a hint of cardamom, and that’s all, that’s all that remains. I can tolerate that well. No compulsion to wash is pressing me. Like the dishwasher deodorant, for example, just less sharp-citrusy. Better than a stinky dishwasher.
"Une Belle Histoire" would be a nice room fragrance, indeed.
Currently, several such plastic scents are being launched on the market. Are we to be reprogrammed to synthetic scents? Are we so used to many artificial flavorings that we no longer like the real and natural ones? Like, for example, artificial woodruff flavor. People who know that, associated with a toxic green color of the drink or "jelly," find real woodruff at best funny, if they can even perceive it.
But I simply find these scents dead, scent zombies somehow. "Une Belle Histoire" is not the first of these fragrances; I also mean the GS fragrances and others.
